Is the score based on data?

No, and the page says so where the number appears. It is a checklist we wrote, weighted by our own judgement, scored from your own answers. There is no outside source because there is nothing here an outside source could confirm.

Does a high score mean I will get the job?

No percentage anywhere predicts that. The useful part is the list of what is still outstanding. The number is only a fast way to read it.

Why does it ask which certification I am interviewing for?

Only so it can point you at the right practice questions, and so it can show you the reported pay for that certification before someone asks you your number. That figure carries its own source.
